Accessing your OSS login is crucial for managing your business in Indonesia. The Online Single Submission (OSS) system is a centralized platform for obtaining business permits and licenses. 

This article provides clear, easy-to-follow steps to help you access your OSS login portal and navigate the system efficiently.

What is OSS in Indonesia?

As of 2018, the Indonesian government replaced the former One-Stop Services system with the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, aiming to revolutionize business operations in Indonesia.

The OSS online is a newly developed licensing system streamlining business applications.

Initially overseen by the Ministry for Economic Affairs, the OSS system has been managed by the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) since its upgrade in 2019. This new, fully electronic system facilitates easier business operations in Indonesia.

The legal basis for OSS Risk-Based Approach (OSS RBA) is stipulated in Government Regulation (PP) No. 5 of 2021 concerning Risk-Based Business Licensing. 

The new OSS RBA system evaluates business license applications based on the level of risk and the scale of business activities. This differs from the previous OSS RBA 1.1 system, which did not consider the risk and scale of business activities for licensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

    A newly established PMA company in Indonesia is typically provided with import facilities, tax holidays, tax allowances, or investment allowances.

    • Import facilities
      Investors in Indonesia, particularly in manufacturing, may benefit from import tax exemptions for capital goods and raw materials through the Master List Facility.

      The government offers CIT reductions of 50% or 100% for 5–20 years for listed pioneer industries, based on investment value. After this period, a CIT reduction of 25% or 50% applies for two fiscal years. Non-listed sectors can also apply by meeting criteria demonstrating pioneer industry status.

      • Pioneer industries are industries that have a wide range of connections, provide additional value and high externalities, introduce new technologies, and have strategic value for the national economy.

    • Tax allowance
      For companies in certain designated areas or regions, the government may provide the following tax concessions:
      Net income reduction up to 30% of the amount invested, prorated at 5% annually for six years, on condition that the assets invested are retained for the same duration.
      Accelerated depreciation and/or amortisation deductions
      An extension of tax losses carried forward for a maximum of ten years
      A 10% (or lower if treaty relief is available) withholding tax rate on dividends paid to non-residents

      High level of local content
    • Investment allowance
      The government offers a reduction in net income of up to 60% of the investment, distributed at 5% annually over six years of commercial production, contingent upon the retention of invested assets for the same duration. To qualify, applicants must meet business line eligibility criteria and employ a minimum of 300 Indonesian workers in the project.
    • Super deduction
      This facility could be granted to certain businesses, such as:
      60% reduction in net income of the amount of tangible fixed assets invested for labor-intensive industries, distributed throughout a certain time frame.
      Up to 200% reduction in the gross income of the amount spent for human resources development in certain competency activities.
      Up to 300% reduction in gross income of the amount spent for certain R&D activities in Indonesia.

    A limited liability corporation is required by Indonesian company law to have two or more shareholders, who may be either a legal entity or an individual. The foreign investor must find a second shareholder to own shares in the PMA firm for investments that are 100% open, which could be an affiliated party.

    A foreign-owned company (PT PMA) in Indonesia is a popular choice among foreigners to set up a business. Foreign investors must check Indonesia’s Positive Investment List to see which businesses are open to foreign direct investment.

    In Indonesia, the necessity of hiring Indonesian employees by foreign companies typically arises from commercial requirements, regulatory mandates in specific sectors like construction or shipping, or as part of employing foreigners to fulfill knowledge transfer obligations.
